Select Developer Mode and check the Developer Mode checkbox on the next page.

If this is the first time you are using this setting, you will be asked if you want to register your developer organization. (Your developer name will not be made public, so you can use any name you want.

Install the Oculus Go driver (Windows only)

*This process is only for Windows users, Mac users don’t need it, so please go to “Install SideQuest”.

Install the driver from Oculus official website on your PC.

Check the I agree to the terms of use checkbox, and click Download.

After the download is complete, extract oculus-go-adb-driver-2.0.zip, right-click android_winusb, and select “Install”.

This completes the installation of the driver for Oculus Go.
